Texas has introduced the Strong Families Franchise Tax Credit, creating a unique opportunity for businesses to invest in their communities while receiving a valuable franchise tax credit.

If your company pays Texas franchise tax, your charitable giving can now have an even greater impact.

By making a designated contribution to an eligible nonprofit like Family Service, your business may qualify for a Texas Strong Families Franchise Tax Credit. The program was created by the Texas Legislature to encourage private-sector investment in organizations that help families achieve stability, self-sufficiency, and long-term success.

Why consider participating?
✔ Support proven programs that strengthen Texas families.
✔ Potentially reduce your Texas franchise tax liability.
✔ Demonstrate your company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility.
✔ Invest in healthier communities and a stronger workforce.

A few important things to know:
• Credits are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis through the Texas Comptroller’s reservation system.
• The first reservation period opens August 3, 2026.
• Annual credits are capped statewide, so early participation is encouraged.
• Contributions must be made to a certified eligible organization and designated for the Strong Families Credit to qualify.

For more than 123 years, Family Service has been helping children, individuals, and families build brighter futures through counseling, early childhood education, financial stability programs, violence prevention, and other life-changing services. Your investment doesn’t just support a nonprofit—it strengthens our entire community.
